Ok everyone, I promised some more pictures from the Sydney Open Day. I searched my phone and these are the best ones that bring out some hidden Sydney gems. Enjoy!!
The above is the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. This was open during the day, including the concert hall. They had someone playing the grand organ whist we popped in. Amazing and a great chance to put our feet up! Our legs were begging for a pit stop.
Hong Kong House
Hong Kong House is just behind the QVB and is a building much look past as buses rush through the busy intersection. A historic building that has at times been a hotel and bank (well I am sure the guide said that) and is now the office for the Hong Kong government in Australia, this building has been restored to its former glory thanks to the Hong Kong government. What you will find below is a pic of the QVB from HK House and a pic of the stain glass that is the centre piece of the stairwell. Apparently in years gone by, business men would go to the balcony and see the view to the harbour on one side an the view to Central Station on the other - now blocked by surrounding buildings.
